Hi,
I'd like to improve our advanced String concat strategy,
MH_INLINE_SIZED_EXACT, with skipping the storage initialization:
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8150463
Webrev:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8150463/webrev.01/
Performance had improved, as planned:
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~shade/8150463/perf.txt
The rest of the difference against BC_SB strategy is code-generation
quirks, to be addressed separately. We pay some price for a runtime
final index check to strengthen against inadvertent bugs in
concatenation code.
This patch does not affect the String concatenation at this point,
because we are still running with BC_SB strategy. I ran through
java/lang/String jtregs to see if MH_INLINE_SIZED_EXACT works as
expected. Therefore, I don't think this needs to wait for Jigsaw
integration. But, it can also wait, no problem. I'll let Jigsaw folks to
decide on integration timing.
Thanks,
